The judiciary are a sham in this country, political system that sits back & does nothing is also a sham. Soft approach to crime & drugs is a major problem for Irish society.

I seen a Croatian lad on Twitter saying this sort of thing happened when he was growing up and they sent in a swat team to take out all the troublemakers and that was the problem solved.

Yes, but you'd end up being prosecuted while she gets a hefty claim, the worlds fucked

Genuinely as punishment, I would relieve her of her right arm. A yoke like that is a serial offender.

They should be deported back to their home country.
Dublin is a kip. Last time I was on O'Connell St it was full of drug addicts and the smell of pish would knock you out. Look at what went on it Tallaght from those murders to the Lidl break in. It's a f**king dump. Then the carry on in Ballyfermot. No one fears the Garda at all.

The first thing you do is not film the thing ffs! Next thing is phone the fire service at least you'll have lads arriving with protective gear and hatchets ;) as they will be out a lot quicker than the police it seems. Thirdly assess what you can do to prevent injury to all parties.. A knife can cause serious damage, regardless who's using it.

Not film the f**king thing and laugh for starters. Beyond that who knows until you're in the situation but I'd like to think I'd have done something. Her arm should have been snapped to get the blade off her
No fear of the Guards is the biggest problem.
The weak justice system and the guards not being arsed feeds that.
The arrests in Ballyfermot shows the Gardai could tackle this head on if they were motivated to do so.

The problem is not whether the guards are arsed or not, or whether the justice system is strong enough or not, as that is a top down solution as opposed to a bottom up. Where there is deprivation and poverty you will always have more crime. Places like Ballyfermot are no different than areas of east or west Belfast, Moss Side in Manchester, or any deprived areas in major cities across the world. These types of crimes have been happening for generations, but populations have exploded in the last 2 decades, along with the advent of camera phones and social media, there is a perception that it is now worse than it was. It isn't.
This crime does not start when these kids, generally boys, reach 12-13. They come from homes that are broken beyond repair from a very young age, they generally have no father in their lives, if they do he is generally involved in crime/physically abusive/alcohol or drug addict or all of the above. They fall into gang life as that's the only way to survive. There's insufficient funds being pumped into the cause of this happening at an early age and too much pumped into law enforcement. Break the cycle before it happens. This will take generations but is the only way. Criminal justice is purely a sticking plaster
Nuke the lot of 'em Joe.

I genuinely used to think this. Honestly. But I have seen communities get huge funding, the best of the best and they just wreck it. In West Belfast my mate was working on the new play park. He told me the cost of the walking track, some special stuff. Eyewatering money. They broke in and lit a fire on it before it was even opened. They torched the crane and the forklift a different night. Just thuggery.
Where I live in a fairly middle class town, we have no leisure facilities. No community pitches. No community hall, not even as much as a play park, yet our kids aren't out terrorising the community. So this bullshit line about them having nothing and no investment doesn't stack up in the real world.
These lot are in bred scum. Their Ma was scum who opened her legs to every man who offered he a cigarette and popped them out one after another with no thought of rearing them or looking after them. Their Da did a runner when he heard that he might have to take on some responsibility. And the cycle continues.
They deserve nothing. They offer nothing to their communities. Time everyone got real. Throwing money at these communities is pointless. Throw them in jail and f**k the key away.
And that's the problem in a single post Trailer. I understand your mindset and I also think that at times but locking up and throwing away the key is not the answer either as that creates inter generational crime and poverty, which there has been for many generations across all societies. What happened at Ballyfermot is no different than what was happening with joyriding on the Falls in the late 80's early 90's. That is no where near as bad as it was. There has been a lot of work on the ground in respect of community policing and the communities themselves taking more control. That is not through play parks and leisure centres but through active participation. That's what needs to happen but it is a very slow process.
Spoken like a true tory! Managed decline, isn't that what Thatcher called it?

Two processes have to work in tandem, crime has to be punished, end of. Society would break down completely if it was not. I agree that some form of group with social workers etc have to work with poorer communities & create mentors/ community leaders to improve anti social behaviour & make people feel positive about their community.
But to be clear, what happened in the video needs to be punished.

Agree 100%. I am not a tree hugging liberal who let's all go and blames society for others bad behaviour. I have been in prison cells with bad wee bastards and I know that some are beyond redemption and there has to be punishment. The key is prevention through better structures and a greater focus on restorative work to try to prevent reoffending and breaking cycles. Prison creates more dangerous criminals, not the other way around.
They have no fear for anyone or respect for anyone. The likes of the little scumbags you'll find in the rough parts of any big city. I think there needs to be a carrot and stick approach- give them the funding, the things to do etc but they still need to know that if they're acting the w**ker like that there will be consequence. Whether that be through police and properly tough prison sentences or probably more effectively some big scary f**ker that'll slap them into next week if they misbehave.
I think the likes of the GAA and especially boxing clubs can have a big impact here.

The cycle needs to be broken. I'd say like everything you'll have a few ring leaders and then everyone else tries to out do each other and look like the hard man- and before you know it the whole thing spirals out of control.
I refuse to believe they are all beyond help but I'd agree probably a lot of them are

Murder in the graveyard in Tralee. Done in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses. The dead man sent out a video proclaiming he didnt want any part in a feud.
Again the free legal aid brigade are involved, they are involved in a disportinate level of crime. Society is in decline, but sure as long as they do it to themselves, we'll be alright Jack.

No, most people who par-take in this type of crime are in receipt of free legal aid. Your second question is based on your initial presumption. I replied to Brokencrossbar in relation to what I think should be the approach with dis-advantaged groups. Pretty sure you're a Sinn Fein voter, those boys & girls would know a thing or 3 about crime & free legal aid. I'm sure they'd have all the stats on crime you're looking for, then probably not.
Was having coffee in a friends office yesterday and we were discussing this and also discussing the Donegal Celtic shooting. Whilst completely different in their background they are both products of 'gangs' and control. The paramilitaries of the 80's and 90's have been replaced by other types of 'gangs'. The difference now is the levels of money involved in the crimes. There's no such thing anymore as an 'ordinary decent criminal'. With the drugs that the place is awash with there's no controls anymore. I'm general though crime rates are dropping. Violence and sexual offences have risen, as have drugs and public order. Likely there's a cross connection between all of these but in general we have never been safer. Instances like the Donegal Celtic killing and this Tralee incident are headliners but in general they are not the norm

If there is a need for it then people will profit from it, drugs, coal, oil .. One is illegal the others seem to be ok
I suppose 2 recent murders in the West of the city will bring it home, but there has to be higher figures across the country, turf wars are no different than the paramilitary feuds from years ago, they were brutal

Cocaine is an easier, and sometimes cheaper, option to many now instead of getting drunk. There is the demand and that is being supplied. Over the years the paramilitaries kept their areas under control but that is gone. There is a vacuum that the police have never been able to close up.
Don't though that they are running areas. The reality is crime is not as bad as it used to be, it's simply more visible

Yeah that's 100% true. They have a big house that over looks the town and the locals have to take their first born for a blood sacrifice to them to ensure they are not punished....standard stuff really

Yeah that's 100% true. They have a big house that over looks the town and the locals have to take their first born for a blood sacrifice to them to ensure they are not punished....standard stuff really
Sadly it's a massive problem in Cross and surrounding areas as well as Newry these days. Scumbags see it as handy money and if rumours are to be believed half of them are psni informants as well.
Certainly wouldn't have been the case 30 years ago

Murder in the graveyard in Tralee. Done in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses. The dead man sent out a video proclaiming he didnt want any part in a feud.
Again the free legal aid brigade are involved, they are involved in a disportinate level of crime. Society is in decline, but sure as long as they do it to themselves, we'll be alright Jack.
Is that supposed to be a clever way of saying travellers? Do you have data to say Travellers are involved in a disproportionate amount of crime versus other disadvantaged groups?
Anyone accused of Murder in the North is automatically part of the free legal aid brigade regardless of their background or earnings. Is it not the same in the south?
Now it's been 15 years since I studied criminology but historically stronger sentences do nothing to deter offending and in fact leads to higher recidivism as criminals become more and more ostracised.
Since 2008 in NI sentences over 12 months have stopped being subject to automatic remission. Without going into the technicalities sentences have effectively increased in length quite dramatically. It's done nothing to deter offending. Of course unsurprisingly whilst these new sentences were supposed to put a greater emphasis of rehabilitation, the resources required were by and large not provided for. The system up here is at breaking point and needs rethought.
sinn fein very quiet about what happened in palestine.

Any impact on reoffending? Probably a more pertinent question.
Reoffending is high but lower than it was. Although it varies depending on the crime. There was a big controversy a number of years ago over a particular course in prison for sex offenders. It was discovered it actually increased reoffending because it encouraged sex offenders to share stories of how they had gone undetected for years with other sex offenders.

Nothing new here, some random Gaaboard regulars idiotically ranting against Travelers.
Soon someone will be saying they're as bad as Tyronies or even they're reminding people of the ethnic violence Belfast experienced on a daily basis during the last hundred years of its history.
Fortunate those Travelers were never in positions of power in the Magdalene Laundries or weren't educated enough to be child molesting teachers, never mind being pious enough to be a christian child molesting clergy. Perhaps those Travelers are involved in the murky world of drug dealing or pressuring women into prostitution, I doubt that. But when it comes to law and order misfits, those Travelers have to be enemy nr 1 of the state.

A relatively new word in the English dictionary that could aptly describe the above, as "whataboutery", I must say I dislike that word. I would prefer to call the above as absolute & pure "shite-hawkery".

Yes, I do.
But the travellers want to be treated differently, as an ethnic minority, they are a distinct group of people they tell us.
So they can hardly complain when people refer to the behaviour of their society.
If the "main Irish ethnic group" behaved the same way, can you imagine what the place would be like!?

Im the same, went to school with some travellers and they were all good people. On the flip side, had to throw a couple out of the pub I worked in many years ago. I can tell the difference between a few idiots though.
Went to primary school with a few travellers, didn't think any different of them then and I don't really think any different of them now. Like people from all walks of life, some are c***ts.

You're really showing yourself up between this and defending that Tate gobshite.
I see Silver found guilty of the capital murder of Gda Horkan.
There was a stat I saw in 2020 that between 2014 and 2020 no case in the central criminal that had resulted in a death. For example, murder, manslaughter, death by careless driving had resulted in an acquittal. I think that's both remarkable and explainable

The mandatory life sentence for murder means you get the same sentence olif you plead guilty or not guilty. So there hasn't been a guilty plea in decades. You lose nothing so roll the dice. Bonkers.
There was a guilty plea to murder last couple of weeks .
Case of husband killing wife with a samurai sword wasn't it?

No mercy in society. Nobody shouting stop anymore. There was a time when a brave child or passerby would shout stop or intervene. No empathy or compassion. Just feral thugs.
Anyone following the Roscommon eviction court case from 2018 where that family was evicted from their home in strokestown or know how it's going ?

English lads this time.
The young lad showed me a video of a 16 year old battering 3 seperate young lads on the same day. Frightening stuff, gasuns kicked in the head multiple times. Mental what's happening up & down the country, that aul shite that Conor McGregor involved in not helping. They call it sport, sweet Jaysus, just one gurrier kicking the shite of another.
where are the so called irish patriots guys like o dywer they all quiet on this.
Dublin city centre has been declining for years. Lots of scrotes who have no fear of authority and with good reason too.
Even if they get apprehended, they get a slap on the wrist from a judge at most.

It is one thing when they do it between themselves, but when ordinary law abiding good people are brought into it, its a whole new story & the rapid decay of society is real.

That seems to be the usual line, if they are in because the laws allow it then that's that, whoever you are voting in government you need to address them and their policies and get them to change their stance.

That was certainly what was said at the time. The issue for that suggested solution is that crime went down all over the US at roughly the same time, it wasn't just the NYC zero tolerance (or "broken window" as it was called here) policy. The Freakonomics book has a chapter on this and various suggested reasons as to why crime decreased when it did.

Think the authors put some of the change down to the lag effect of the banning of lead paint (which had been having a devastating effect on poor kids), as well as the legalization of abortion, both in the 70s.

Think the authors put some of the change down to the lag effect of the banning of lead paint (which had been having a devastating effect on poor kids), as well as the legalization of abortion, both in the 70s.
From memory the opinion on the subject was very much divided. Crime rates were falling before the introduction of three strike rules and some offences then began to fall dramatically but conversely others slowed or even increased. I think the general consensus was that it probably had little overall impact but that it was very hard to tell because of the myriad of factors involved at the time.
Would have been a mixture of things for sure.. the three strikes was possibly more of a media driven thing which got the headlines.
The police took a lot of flack at the time for being corrupt so the actual cleanup was across so many things

Zero tolerance.
That was certainly what was said at the time. The issue for that suggested solution is that crime went down all over the US at roughly the same time, it wasn't just the NYC zero tolerance (or "broken window" as it was called here) policy.

Yes-IIRC there was a perceived "connection" between an increase in abortion (among the poor and minorities in general) and a decrease in crime.
A lot of this stuff is impossible to quantify though
Since Covid a lot of city centres around the world have become zombie land.
WFH doesn't help, leaving less workers to eat and shop.
Retail is in trouble with online shopping.
Also, cities that have seen an influx of migrants with no accommodation, on top of a rising homelessness, leaves a lot of transients wandering around streets.

Some of that book was clever but it also seemed the authors were trying too hard to be clever and that particular chapter on linking reduced crime levels to Roe v Wade and unleaded petrol were a case in point.

Safe to say the perpetrators (scumbags) would not have to worry about getting out of their bed this morning to go to their work. In an ideal world if you are found guilty for such crimes or anything anti social you lose your benefits but to make sure you don't starve you get food stamps. Also it is strike 1 in terms of the free tax payers house they are living in, once you reach strike 3, your on your own.
There seems to be absolutely no consequences for the pond life that exists in today's society.

100% correct. It was like a circus with a couple of wasters running about the place and 4 cops with them. They'd be in one door and next thing, they'd come out another door. It'd be quiet for 15 mins, then the same thing would happen again, this time, via other doors.
It kept us entertained, if nothing else, and us waiting the 4hrs to be seen.

A simple solution.....in an ideal world.
When you arrive at casualty there are 2 doors, a door for scumbags and a door for the rest of us.
Re the sc**bag clinic once it has been established they are not going to die then f@#k them out onto the street again. Also if you are one of the 'regulars' at casualty your benefits get changed over to food stamps, less / no cash means less change to buy drink / drugs.
This would mean A&E waiting times for us normal folks, especially at weekends, would not be as bad.

So a week after someone is stabbed off Grafton St and I am strolling the area looking for a quiet one before heading home.
It's 9pm, buskers are still out along with late shoppers and the bars have a lovely buzz. Walk down Grafton St, South William and then Wicklow St before heading for the bus. Really wanted a quiet 1 but places were fairly full.
Did not see 1 Garda. I did see little scrotes just walking around. One lad around 9 (with around 10 older lads 15 or so with him) giving grief and another group throwing oranges at people.
I know in the grand scheme of things it's harmless, but FFS at least have a bit of presence after what happened.

Difficult one to get the head round. Is there any particular reason this family was targeted in such a brutal manner? You'd imagine with the dissident element that it's only a matter of time before one of them touts.
That's almost as bad a beating as I've ever read about. Probably the worst while the person is still alive. Sounds as brutal as that fella Quinn years ago.
I wonder what's behind it? Must be two sides to the story. Like a lad just doesn't get a hammereing like that. Horrendous stuff. Brutal.
Was there a more to it? A family fued or two families etc.
I'm sure there probably is but feck me! That's a brutal beating.
Normally with such a bad beating I'm inclined to assume some sort of back story, but with the family speaking to the media I do question that theory a bit.

Yesterday was around that same street and two lads on high powered bikes were doing wheelies and donuts.
I rang garda and stuck around out if thickness. 20 minutes for a car to come.
On Patrick's weekend a lad was doing wheelies on O'Connell St. Not a bother on him.

Are we really holding the minister personally responsible for a dust up in the north inner city?
Well he said what he said and he can stand over it. It's part of his brief and there's a swathe of the city centre that is carnage daily. That is his job.
Also, a dust up would be 2 lads boxing...not a stabbing, a hammer and a car abandoned on the street. Two weeks earlier I called the Gardaí over lads doing wheelies up and down the road on 1000c + bikes in broad daylight for 20 minutes before a car came. And they were up and down Sean McDermott St too, so that's the same spot.
It's like McEntee going walkies flanked by guards on Talbot St after the US tourist was left in a coma.
Five people dead in 2 awful incidents this weekend in Dublin and Louth.
DJ Carey will get a custodial sentence. We won't findout today what that will be. He will be sentenced on monday. He wil be remanded in custody until then.
This could easily be in the WTF thread but a series of arson attacks recently.
Terrible loss of life in Edenderry. They are after the car that was used to fet away now.
A few weeks earlier a woman set on fire in Clondalkin.
Last night another case in Finglas.
Suggestion on News this evening they burned the wrong house.
Hope all the upper class and trendy cocaine sniffers are proud of themselves with 2 dead and some people burned beyond belief.
There's a video from a few months back of a house in the same estate im Finglas that looks v v similar (the same 1 to me) being attacked.
But yeah it's the white Christmas crew who don't want to think it's anything to do with them that piss me off.
A child killed this evening by two lads on a scrambler. RIP

I had the misfortune of going to a playpark in Rathcoole (newtownabbey) not that long ago and there were a lot of scramblers about as well as them being about the towpath in Belfast now coming from Belvoir estate. They are a disaster waiting to happen and it particularly pains me as I've a wee boy who these pricks could run over.

Yep because the one thing you can sure of is that when a young teenager gets a motorised vehicle, the one thing he/she won't do, is use it to visit their mates. And the second thing you can be of is that they won't allow their mates to takes rides on it. And the third thing you ca be sure of is that they'll never egg each other on to go quicker or take more risks.
The mind boggles, it really does.
In fairness I don't think they are ever safe, but out in fields or even in the countryside you have less chance of killing someone else too.
In urban areas they tear up footpaths and go through parks at mad speeds when kids are playing. I live close to Fairview park in Dublin and they go flying around at night with lights on.
And never mind talk of banning them. I said on this thread a while back about calling the gardaí when two lads were doing donuts in the city centre on clearly stolen bikes.
The notion of banning them is a joke if they don't enforce anything.
With another murder in Dublin, is the city centre safe ?

Of course it is.
This is a tragedy, but he was killed by someone he knew after an argument in a club.

No, it's a battlefield like London which is under Sharia Law
Dublin was very dangerous I remember in the early 90's, crack heads lying on the streets, in fairness they were from Dublin so they were ok ;)
But the influx of foreign street merchants in most major cities is getting worse.. Funny enough Liverpool center isn't too bad at night time but one area where the younger one was staying was called Little Kenya! but She survived
I wouldn't worry - our government has it all under control.
The EU will be telling us on June 12th what to do and fining us if we don't.
Remember when we joined the Common Market back in the day. ;D

Would Irish people in the likes of US/Oz who commit a crime not be kicked out after serving prison sentences? Next to impossible to get into those countries with a record isn't it?

With all this, scumbags are scumbags. The lads who lean right are up in arms of the craic in Skerries where black young lads were fighting with others, but are less vexed by the white lad who was charged with running over the people.

If they are not an Irish citizen and they commit crimes in Ireland. They should be sent back to whatever country they came from.
Why not? Very easy to be both.
So commit any crime and pack them off home? Steal a loaf of bread to feed a starving family etc and it's "sorry, that's it. Off you go"
But Deco from the Dominick Street flats who steals cars and deals drugs for years can stay? Can we not just f**k him into the sea or something?
+1
Do a deal with Somalia authorities, if they take back their citizens then we will fund a jail in Somalia at Irish prices and send Deco there.
No, no - they take back their trouble-makers, and we'll take back the Irish trouble-makers in Somalia.
What about we pay them the same price and they take all the Irish born scores as well.
Let's pick some Irish criminal at random. I don't know, let's say, Aaron Brady. Why does he have more of a right to stay here in our prisons than Yusuf from Somalia who got into a scuffle outside a pub? I'd love to send him and his ilk to Somalia.

You understand it's satirical to highlight the absurdity of the "an immigrant who commits crimes needs fucked outta here" crowd, yes?
Absurd to want to welcome every ne'er do well, keep 'em, feed 'em, and wash 'em at our own expense.
On the other hand, our own ne're do wells we have to take responsibility for, like 'em or lump 'em.
It's a bit like, say - my brother or sister marries a good friend of mine, someone I get on with more than my sibling, perhaps, but after a while it all goes awry, and turns nasty. Do I side with the errant in-law friend, or my own sibling?

Why is it absurd?
An Irish man committing a crime here can't be sent 'back' because he's an Irish citizen who was born and reared here.
An immigrant who comes here and contributes nothing to our society, and actually commits crimes, so is a negative to our society and a potential danger, is a different story.
I see it as quite reasonable to say you're not welcome here, you need to leave.
Who says he contributes nothing to society? Or is incapable of doing so? Is there a threshold when it comes to crimes that determine whether he should be fucked out or not?

Absolutely. Immigration is obviously a huge net positive for the country, but theres no reason to keep the minority of scumbags that come in as we've enough of our own. As for the Irish ones, root cause needs looked at, more opportunities for young people to keep them out of crime, harsher sentences for the lost causes.

If he's convicted of a crime, that's sufficient for me. I propose we start with that and refine from there as needed.
So any immigrant, convicted of any crime, should be automatically deported?
And you don't think that's absurd?
Quote from: gallsman on July 22, 2026, 10:32:26 PMSo any immigrant, convicted of any crime, should be automatically reported?
And you don't think that's absurd?
I presume you mean deported.
You could maybe have an exclusion list of some lesser offences but by and large I think that's reasonable.
What do you find absurd?

Here's where your government's are failing you, and by the way its the same governments you have voted in for the past 100 odd years, so essentially the fault lies with YOU
Failure to processes properly every person that comes to the country.
They have to meet the criteria, you're allowed to stay with boundaries until such time as you prove to be a citizen that contributes
Those that have not met the criteria have to be sent back to whatever country they claim they are from. That said I'm not sure how difficult that is as those countries probably don't want them back and might not be an agreement in place..
Limits on the amount of people allowed in
Failure to monitor those'd processed for a period of time to see how they have gained employment and so on
Failure to plan for large migration where in, not have the infrastructure to facilitate education housing health etc
If the EU are pushing this then there has to be funding to facilitate it and not stick a plaster as a permanent fix on a leaking dam
I don't know a 'lefty' that wants mass immigration or turns a blind eye to the criminals that have made their way here, what's criminal though is the way racism is now trendy and acceptable by so many people
Seen a thing on social media of a man at Yorkgate in Belfast being chased by a guy with a knife, not saying he wasn't but a quick check on his social media and the guy was involved in recent racist protest and his content is disgusting. Would not be surprised he hurled abuse and the guys went for him..
The government is getting away with no protests, it's easier to burn hotels

Good post MR.
Seen that one, if theres even truth to it I'm sure the same p***k didn't get chased for being a good boy.
Again to bring this back to Skerries. The lads who hate the blacks (for want of a better phrase) were going mad over the initial row and are fairly quite when the lad who drove over people in his car is a white Irish lad with loads of convictions.

What's the threshold crime level for deportation from say, Australia or the US?

Remanded in custody June 2025, was he found not guilty or get bail at a later date?

I said that from the beginning
Quote from: AustinPowers on July 23, 2026, 10:48:15 AMWhat's the threshold crime level for deportation from say, Australia or the US?
In the US it's an offence that offends against moral turpitude within 5 years or two or more life time. (Offence must carry a minimum maximum sentence of 1 year.
Alternatively an aggravated felony will almost certainly result in deportation
Drugs firearms and domestic violence offences can also result in deportation
Some states have more nuanced rules although it's by and large a federal matter.
